Last week we discussed how to adjust level and span manually. Sometimes this can lead to a lot of “button pushing!” It is not a big deal – just one of life’s little aggravations. Thankfully, many models of Fluke imagers have a very helpful solution: 1-TIME AUTO ADJUST.

Last week we discussed how to adjust level and span automatically and when that feature is best used. While using AUTO can be very convenient in many situations, you’ll quickly find times when MANUAL adjustment is essential, either to getting the best image or understanding what you are seeing.

I’m all for using the AUTO adjust feature found on most thermal imagers. That said, it does not mean I can turn my brain off! Many new thermographers believe they can just put their system on AUTO and life will be good. Not true.
